...
Something I was thinking about: I often use Inkscape to design posters and I'd really like to have an option to use the Knuth-Plass algorithm and hyphenation (at least in English). I know that they're not in the SVG specifications but this could be only for pdf exports. Another feature which would be useful is to be able to link text blocks (as do Indesign and Xpress) [again, this is not in the svg specs]. This would make an interesting challenge for our students.
Perhaps something similar, that would be of great help in making posters: adding functionality to easily type special symbols in text, like 'mu' for micrometer, or ligatures for 'fi' if the font supports it.
I guess for only 24 days of work, the project should be really small. Are they familiar with using Inkscape?
Cheers, Johan
